Salman Khan’s blackbuck poaching case postponed again till April 1!

Superstar Salman Khan blackbuck poaching case has been dragging for over 20 years now. The Jodhpur Chief Judicial Magistrate Cour, today, adjourned the hearing till April 1, once more. 

Besides Salman, actor Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Sonali Bendre and Tabu were also accused in the same case. But, they refused to produce any evidence in their defense in the court previously and pleaded innocence.

Previously this year in January, Salman had expressed his desire to produce evidence in his defense. But, in a later hearing, Khan's lawyer seemingly refused to provide any evidence claiming that all of it had already been produced in the court. During the hearing, while pleading innocence, Salman told the court that he in fact never went for poaching due to security reasons during the shoot of the movie.
           
This happened during the shooting of Sooraj Barjatya’s movie Hum Saath Saath Hain. Salman had allegedly gone hunting with his co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Sonali Bendre and Tabu. During this, it was alleged that the actor had shot two black bucks dead, near Kankani village in Rajasthan.

The local Bishnoi community then filed a complaint regarding this claiming that they worship these animals.

Apart from this, Salman has in the past faced numerous charges including the hit and run case. The actor was, but, acquitted with regards to the said case. 


Salman in an interview previously had said that he has been falsely implicated and was innocent.
